RETREATS
Retreat is a time away from the ordinary routines to enter into an attitude of quiet, to rest, to pray, to reflect and to invite God to renew the person. We offer a variety of retreats during the year but you can always schedule a Directed or Private Retreat at any time if we have room at the Franciscan Spiritual Center itself or at Clare House or the Hermitages. The telephone numbers listed below will help you to schedule your retreat.
DIRECTED RETREAT
A directed retreat provides persons with an opportunity for prayer in the contemplative environment of the Franciscan Spiritual Center while meeting daily with a certified spiritual director Daily Eucharsist is available in Our Lady of Angels Convent chapel. A Directed Retreat is scheduled for August 1-7, 2018 with Mary Walsh, OSF, Mary Killoran, OSF and Kathleen Gannon, OSF as directors. However arrangements can many times be made for a directed retreat at the Center, Clare House, or the Hermitages when space is available at these locations. To make arrangements please call:
Private Retreats
A private retreat provides persons of any faith an opportunity for prayer in the contemplative environment of the Franciscan Spiritual Center. Retreats provide a time to slow down our bodies, minds and spirits enabling us to listen more deeply to the movement of God’s Spirit in our lives and, therefore, silence is often provided during this time.
For those who would like a liturgy in the Catholic tradition daily Eucharsist is available in Our Lady of Angels Convent chapel but it is currently restrained by COVID restrictions and availability of a chaplain so please check with staff to see if you can attend liturgy in our chapel . A list of local churches and their schedules are available in the Hermitages and Clare House.
Often arrangements can be made for a private retreat at Clare House, or the Hermitages when space is available at these locations. To make arrangements please call:
